As nurse faculty, we constantly strive to be the most effective instructors that we can be. The effective nurse educator, whether operating in the clinical setting or classroom, must demonstrate astute interpersonal skills, clinical competency, professionalism, and an understanding of the principles of adult learning.

I was reading the thread about the disappointing visit to the BON and this gives rise for another discussion for me. Has anyone ever used their malpractice insurance? Did it really save money, or did you still have to pay an attorney out of your own pocket? I am curious because it makes me wonder...NSO doesn't charge too much, just under $100 a year, but does that really help us when we are in trouble, or does it just make us feel comfortable to have it?

The other "things you'd like to tell" threads have been so great -- how about one more?
To the daughter of today's patient: I understand back pain, believe me. I've had the surgery and was off work for six months. Don't tell me you're having such severe back pain that you need to sit in MY chair -- the one that reaches all the way up to the computer keyboard -- instead of the VISITOR's chair (which I hunted high and low to find for you since we only have two on the whole 16 bed unit) when you're walking around in 5 inch stilettos. If your back pain were really that bad, you'd be wearing Danskos like me. (Or any type of shoe that doesn't involve a 5 inch -- or even 3 or 4 inch heel!) Sit in the visitor's chair and be grateful that I found it for you. I'm sure your feet do hurt. Again, try some more sensible shoes.

Okay, here is my dilemma. I need to be full-time in the FALL. But there is only 3 nursing courses we will be taking which is 9 hours. Any suggestions on what I can take to fill that extra 3 credit hours to be full time? Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So, I got my notice last month to go to nursing orientation July 6, and my mom wanted to come with me. I don't think it's appropriate for her to be there, but I'm not sure. She would be paying for my supplies and such, but I could just ask for her checkbook ahead of time. Did anyone take or see other people's parents at orientation buying supplies? Or is it a "student only" event? Thanks in advance!
